Plasti Dip safe for touch less car wash?
Plasti Dip safe for touch less car wash?
I have a few parts on my car that are plasti dipped I was wondering if I took it to a touch less car wash will it mess up any of the plasti dip? I usually just hand wash it but this time i'm just trying to take it to a touch less car wash.

I'll soon find out.. I just plasti dip the roof in my subie.
I did watch the video with the plasti dipped gti rims prior but still wanted to ask from personal experience, well looks like i'm taking it through the car wash soon! Mike I did see your post on dipping your roof. The videos outback posted pretty much answered my question if it can stand a high pressure wash then it'll do fine with normal washes.

Why would you ruin a $500k car by applying something you bought for a few dollars that came in a can. 
He now has a car that looks primered and that needs paint.
Ok heres the video that will answer all your questions this is proof right here just randomly stumbled upon it looking up vids on youtube.
& yes people do dip expensive cars, doesn't look bad either!
Skip to 6:25 for your specific question but basically.... Plasti Dip is tough ****.

I have a friend who owns a vinyl shop and he wraps more high end cars than anything else. Why is that? Its the same principal when you think about it. Dudes Lambo paint is "protected" same as doing a vinyl wrap only diff is he can do touch ups to his where with a vinyl wrap you need to have a large section redone at a cost that's not cheap. but hey if you can afford a 400k car then that's not a problem to you.
Having a Matte/Flat color cars seems to be all the rage these days anyways.

It looks sweet to me in my opinion. It was applied via a actual sprayer and not a rattle can. He has switched colors around several times and stated he'd rather plasti dip the Lamborghini rather than having to paint it each time he changes the color.. To each is their own man.
It does look sweet, I love the matte look that plasti dip gives.
I'm probably going to take my grill off and re dip it today, the **** looks clean and does wonders.
